Volto Di Medusa^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 65| D

7/2

Capitalised on a falling mark with a narrow success at Lingfield (1m, all-weather) last month but one of his increasingly slow starts ruined any chance he had of following up at Wolverhampton since. Comes with risks.

Form: 507910

Platinum Prince^b³³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Jude Fernandes⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 65| D

12/1

Quirky sort but has plenty of ability for Class 6 level and it's possible a change of headgear could spark a revival. Last win came under Jude Fernandes. Worth chancing.

Form: 7125-05

Thapa VC^b,t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M G Rimell| OR: 64| BF| C| D

7/2

Course winner who has been knocking on the door lately, including narrowly denied at Bath (1m, good) last time. Obvious form chance but the outside stall is a bit of a concern for this often free goer.

Six Blue⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: R T Phillips| OR: 62

50/1

Has failed to make a significant impact in maiden/novice events since switching to the Flat but handicaps provide her with a much more realistic chance.

Form: 655

Gladiadora¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 62| D

11/4

Two all-weather wins since joining Charlie Clover. Tongue strap on first time (off now), good fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 18 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Considered.

Form: 412484

Relevant Range¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 60| D

11/1

Free-going sort who won a pair of all-weather classified races at the beginning of 2026 and bounced back to that sort of form when second of 7 in Musselburgh handicap (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago. High on the shortlist.

Form: 340862

Chico Dulce⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: M Madgwick| OR: 54| D

5/1

Won on Lingfield's polytrack in November. Respectable reappearance fourth over C&D in April but went backwards from that when only seventh back at Lingfield later that month. Off 11 weeks.

Form: 2415-47

Luminous Approach⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: S Lycett| OR: 53

8/1

Modest form, including 4 lengths fifth of 11 on handicap debut at Leicester (1¼m, good) in May. Less exposed than most of these.

Form: 067-5

(8)

Lovely Jubly²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Gina Mangan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 50| D

40/1

Shed maiden tag at Bath (1m, heavy) last autumn. Failed to back that up in 2 subsequent outings last year and might be best watched back from 7 months off.

Form: 800168-

Summer Evening^b,h,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Tyler Heard| T: D Flood| OR: 46

40/1

Placed twice on all-weather at Lingfield this year but hard to be too encouraged by her recent efforts.

Forecasts

Gladiadora (11/4), Thapa VC (7/2), Volto Di Medusa (7/2), Chico Dulce (5/1), Luminous Approach (8/1), Relevant Range (11/1), Platinum Prince (12/1), Mbappe (12/1), Lovely Jubly (40/1), Summer Evening (40/1), Six Blue (50/1)

PLATINUM PRINCE has a bit of class for this grade and might be worth chancing now refitted with the blinkers he wore to good effect last season. Relevant Range and Gladiadora are respected on the back of good efforts last time. Thapa Vc arrives in form but his draw has the potential to make life awkward.
